Chapter 84
At the end of the season, Su Yang happily went on vacation.
He gets up at 4 o'clock every morning, rubs his hands with Devil May Cry [-], and then logs into World of Warcraft to play a copy. In the afternoon, he goes to the Tualatin River to be a fisherman, and in the evening, he goes to the crayfish restaurant in Chinatown for supper. Life is full of joy.
After playing wildly for a week, he withdrew his mind and tweeted announcing the end of his vacation and returning to work.
After the tweet was sent out, many agents called him soon, emphasizing that interviews could be arranged.
Su Yang sincerely thanked him, and also bluntly said that he had no intention of signing a broker, and many brokers quit voluntarily.
But Bill Duffy strongly suggested that he sign an agent. He also took the new Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle as an example and told him many things that the coach is not suitable for directly negotiating with the management, such as salary and hidden privileges.
Su Yang expressed his understanding, but still insisted not to hire an agent, so Bill Duffy gave up.
Subsequently, the Bulls, Grizzlies, and Kings sent out interview invitations, and the location was set in Los Angeles.
Originally, the king and the grizzly were not very interested, but if they were idle, they were idle, so Su Yang agreed to them all.
The general manager Kevin also called him and said that all interview requests had been approved, so he could rest assured.
If the interview is successful, it is guaranteed to terminate the contract immediately. If not, then go back to the Blazers and continue working.
On the afternoon of the [-]th, Su Yang flew to Los Angeles, accepted ESPN's invitation, and went to the Staples Center to be a guest commentator for the finals. He said bluntly that the Celtics are stronger, Garnett will beat Gasol, but the FMVP will be Pierce.
NO.11 At two o'clock in the afternoon, at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, Su Yang met with the Bulls team.
In the draft in May, the Bulls won the No. 1.75 lottery with a very low probability of 08%, and [-] was recognized as a big year in the draft, which made the Bulls' management have the fighting spirit to make a career, and they have made it clear that they want to hire a new head coach .
The Bulls are led by general manager John Paxson, who was born as an NBA player. He was an assistant coach to Phil Jackson and worked as a radio commentary.
But Paxson is easy to be emotional, and his operation level is very good. A famous case is to spend 1000 million US dollars to sign Pippen back to the Bulls. As a result, Pippen played a total of 23 games in two seasons, averaging 5.9 points per game, wasting salary space in vain.
Of course, Paxson's most annoying operation was to change Kobe, which made everyone in the Bulls' group of young players feel insecure. The season that was supposed to produce results was messed up, and they were traded at every turn, making it difficult for the Bulls to stabilize the lineup.
Although Paxson is full of problems, Su Yang still wants to give it a try. After all, it is an opportunity to be a head coach.
While chatting, Paxson suddenly asked: "Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook, who is stronger?"
Su Yang was stunned when he heard the words. Westbrook is currently predicted to be ranked around seven or eight in the draft, and Rose is the absolute No. [-] pick on the major lists. Why would he ask this question? Could it be that Paxson left a shadow because of sending Aldridge away?
"Derrick Rose is stronger. He is the point guard with the best physical fitness in the entire history of the NBA so far. His explosive power is worse than Westbrook, but his physical coordination is far superior to Westbrook..."
Su Yang quickly compared Rose to the difference between Baron Davis, Thomas, Iverson and other famous point guards, and finally proved that Rose is the most physically fit point guard in NBA history.
"Then do you think we should choose him?" Paxon asked with a serious expression on his face.
Su Yang had a headache watching it, and knew that this was the status quo. Right now, the Bulls management has not yet decided whether to choose Rose or Beasley, because Beasley's talent is also visible to the naked eye, and it is difficult to tell the difference by rookie standards.
What really made the Bulls management decide to choose Rose was that when Rose was interviewed by the Bulls, he was asked what would happen if he lost.
Yes, the reason for the final determination, which sounds unbelievable, is actually competitive.
Just like the Blazers made up their minds to choose Oden instead of Durant, they think Oden is a natural winner.
However, compared to the Cavaliers choosing Bennett, it is because Bennett is polite, and the Bulls and Trail Blazers are fairly normal.
"Of course you should choose. Derrick Rose is extremely talented, competitive, and never gives up..."
The interview with the Bulls ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and Paxson made an appointment for a second round of interviews.
After leaving the hotel, Su Yang rushed back to the San Gabriel Chinese gathering area according to the plan, and stayed for one night.
In the morning of the next day, Miss Jiang learned that he had come to Los Angeles and invited him to attend the gathering of foreign students.
Su Yang happily went there, and halfway through the party, he happily played DOTA with a few boys.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, he met with the Grizzlies again at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills.
The Grizzlies are led by Chris Wallace, not the joking western reporter, but the general manager.
Wallace bluntly said that the reason for interviewing Su Yang was mainly because the team's main manager Mike Conley strongly recommended him. Since the All-Star rookie game, Conley has never forgotten Su Yang's wonderful coaching methods and efficient tactics.
"Our scouts have studied your tactical style and found that you especially like to play fast. The early attack ratio of each game is as high as 25.69%, which is much higher than the second Suns in the league. But the core of our team building in the next few years is Marc Gasol, Gay and Conley are not suitable for a fast pace, how would you build a tactical system?"
After Wallace finished speaking, he stared straight at Su Yang, as if he was a little proud of asking questions, but Su Yang smiled lightly.
"I'd have Gasol shoot a lot of [-]s.
If you guys take Kevin Love, I'll let them shoot the [-] together, they have that ability.
Imagine two big players shooting three-pointers from the outside and supporting them. How should the opponent defend? "
Before Su Yang finished speaking, Wallace's expression instantly changed as if he saw an alien, and he was directly confused.
Limited by the limitations of the times, Wallace really couldn't understand why Xiaojia and Love were allowed to shoot three-pointers.
Seeing Wallace's bewildered expression, Su Yang continued: "Please believe me, I'm serious..."
Wallace put on a 'I believe you a ghost' expression, and the interview came to an end soon.
There was no second round of interviews, Su Yang felt a little regretful, the three-point combination of Xiaojia and Love is really strong.
He left Beverly Hills and called Miss Jiang to come out to play, thanking her for inviting her to the party.
It's a pity that Miss Jiang didn't have time, so he had to go to Universal Studios alone to watch the newly released robot Wall-E
NO.13 In the morning, Su Yang rushed to the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills to meet with the King's team.
The king's general manager, Geoff Petrie, came up and asked Su Yang how to manage the locker room. He was obviously worried that Su Yang would not be able to convince the crowd due to his young age. He also asked if he would mind arranging an experienced assistant coach for Su Yang.
Su Yang felt that the other party didn't trust him, so there was no need to talk more, so he shook hands with a few words and ended the interview.
After the three interviews were completed, none of them was confirmed, so Su Yang packed his luggage and prepared to return to Portland.
Unexpectedly, the Sonics called again and invited him to interview in Los Angeles three days later.
